This document aims to establish an appropriate geological framework and resource potential baseline for DEM's knowledge about lime sand on Kangaroo Island (KI), by showing and discussing what new lime sand resource areas are available, based on the...

An area centred ~85 km south-southeast of Coober Pedy, at the southern margin of the Lake Phillipson Trough, a long active tectonic feature now occupied by deep sedimentary fill, was taken up by a wholly-owned subsidiary to Monax Mining Ltd primarily...

An area in the southern Strzelecki Desert, centred approximately 70 km east of Lake Frome, has been explored for possible economic roll-front style Tertiary palaeochannel-hosted sedimentary uranium mineralisation of the type discovered at the...

An area located approximately 65 km south of Oodnadatta, on the Boorthanna Plain near Peake Creek, was taken up to explore for iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) or similar style mineralisation which might be hosted by basement Proterozoic rocks on the...

An area centred ~70 km south-east of Woomera is being explored for possible economic buried IOCG type mineralisation which may have formed within Mesoproterozoic to Palaeoproterozoic basement. A farm-in joint venture was established between grant...

An area in the vicinity of Parndana, located on north-central Kangaroo Island approximately 30 km west-southwest of Kingscote, is being explored mainly for possible economic gold and Mississippi Valley type base metal sulphide mineralisation...

PepinNini Minerals has recently completed a small stratigraphic drilling programme within the Musgrave Province in South Australia, which was carried out as a collaborative drilling project (DPY4-05) undertaken between the company and the SA...

Exploration targetted Roxby Downs style and Ernest Henry style copper-gold mineralisation in an area of intensely magnetic, concealed Proterozoic metasedimentary and intrusive igneous basement terrain, characterised by complex regional geophysical...

During the 2009-2010 reporting year, as part of the strategy to significantly advance the future development of the Hawks Nest Iron Ore Project, Western Plains Resources (WPG) successfully concluded a series of complex joint venture negotiations with...

Most of a sizeable licence area located on SA's Far West Coast, which formerly extended for 10 to 90 km inland from the vicinity of Bookabie, has now been partially relinquished owing to its perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marine...

An assessment of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand accumulations has discovered numerous occurrences of economic to sub-economic amounts of heavy minerals...

Exploratory drilling carried out by BHP Billiton (BHPB) during the 2009-10 project reporting year took place at six prospects thought to have good IOCG mineralisation potential, based in part on earlier drilling results and also on refined target...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

After two years of negotiation with traditional owners and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Land Council, the Geological Survey Branch of PIRSA's Minerals, Petroleum and Energy Division (MPE) commenced stratigraphic drilling on the 15th May 2002, in the...

Over the period from 1955 until 1976 an outcrop of Ordovician porphyritic rhyolite was quarried for road-sealing aggregate and rail ballast from two quarries at Mount Monster, 12 km south of Keith. The total recorded production was 548,000 tonnes....

Contains the results of a SCAL study of 16 selected drill core plug samples taken from within the Strzelecki and Dullingari Field Jurassic oil reservoirs, to determine formation resistivity factor plus cation exchange capacity at ambient pressure...

Twenty diamond drill holes amountiing to a total footage of 3,780 feet have now been completed at the Victoria Hut Prospect. These have shown that the lodes extend to a depth of at least 270 feet down dip, but with a gradual decline in the width and...

Between 8 August and 6 October 2021, six inclined, rotary mud precollared diamond cored holes (21WDDH001 to 006) totalling 1560.6 m were drilled at the Weednanna gold and iron deposit located ~40 km north of Kimba on northern Eyre Peninsula, as part...

The Barossa Valley in South Australia is the second largest single area in Australia planted to vines. About 8600 ha are currently planted, of which about 2400 ha are irrigated. Smaller areas of irrigated vegetables and fruit trees also exist....
